Abstract - In an age where data security is crucial, the need for robust encryption systems has become increasingly necessary. This paper presents CipherShare, a Custom Key Encryption/Decryption and Messaging System, designed to provide enhanced security and flexibility for secure communication. The system employs a unique approach by allowing users to create custom encryption keys tailored to their specific requirements, ensuring a high level of data protection. The system uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, due to which the proposed system offers several advantages over traditional encryption systems. Firstly, its custom key approach provides a higher level of security by reducing the risk of brute force attacks. Secondly, the system's flexibility allows users to adapt encryption keys according to their changing security needs. Thirdly, it is platform-independent, making it compatible with a wide range of devices and applications.

Key Words:  Custom Key, Encryption, Decryption, Security, Communication, Confidentiality.
